It's been two months ...I can definitely relate! It's been two months since I've blogged which usually wouldn't be that big of a deal as I get busy seasons so it's expected. Even with that I still usually comment on blogs even if I cant update my own. This is the first time I was so busy I couldn't even visit other people's blogs. I didn't necessarily feel guilty about it, but I did feel frustrated, lol. Doll life, doll blogs and crafting are what relax and keep me kosher. Not having that outlet has been very annoying. This weekend I finally have free time and I'm going to dive deep back into it, so don't be surprised at seeing numerous comments from me!Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-28391218639156295742015-09-15T03:47:45.852-07:002015-09-15T03:47:45.852-07:00lol...Billa, it is coming along soo slowly.....wha...lol...Billa, it is coming along soo slowly.....what was our bedroom will require ripping out the old carpet, redoing the walls, as hubby has plans to shelve in the walls and re-do the closets for me with shelves and doors with clear plexi and tiered steps so the dolls can be protected from dust. Lots of painting and construction, but first, oh the cleaning! But the great thing is it is in motion. I have so much to do with that room it isn't funny. Hubcap is excited because he always loves a challenge and wants the dolls displayed just as much as I do. I have so many some I can't find!! (still looking for my Mad Men Kens! Can't find either one...)

Yes Lisa we are possessed!<br />I'm thrilled by the news about you new doll room! I would love to have one!billa's dolls and fashionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469748679904970074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-41458930871795757762015-09-13T05:26:45.904-07:002015-09-13T05:26:45.904-07:00Vanessa, I so felt like the crazy one here for tak...Vanessa, I so felt like the crazy one here for taking time away from dolls - it is almost like the dolls possess me- play with me! And I have had so many goals and projects planned for this year- sewing for one. Not just for the little 1:6 scale divas, but for the American Girls and the French Fashion doll Annabelle too who I enjoy sewing for- BUT it is very time consuming. <br /><br />I also want to create more cakes, and pastries. and some furniture. Again, I need a workspace and time....which I don't necessarily have if we are moving furniture about in the 'real' house, LOL....on the one hand, I feel the urge to create, and on the other, eh...that's alot of work to move stuff around to have the space and then break it back down again to set the table for supper or what have you. Sewing is easier as it can be put away in a workbasket I have by my chair, the clays and building is not as easy. <br /><br />So glad to know everyone else suffers from this guilt trauma with the dolls! lol...And organizing it is so much work you need a rest afterwards!Lisa Neaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06300989092160836635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-74804880777953245372015-09-12T17:57:56.132-07:002015-09-12T17:57:56.132-07:00Why do we feel so guilty when we have to take time...Why do we feel so guilty when we have to take time to do "real" stuff? Don't feel guilty. We completely understand. We are there, too. Love Olivia's bike! So cute. Let's not even talk about cleaning doll rooms. Mine is a mess as well.

I too have been is a slump lately when it comes to blogging, so I definitely feel it. Life does have a way of getting in the way of our fun, doesn't it? You rearrangement sound like a lot of work, but I am sure the results will be great if your doll dioramas are any indication of your ability to put together a room!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084954419650988542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-53982289737591503712015-09-12T09:29:58.137-07:002015-09-12T09:29:58.137-07:00Farrah Lily, thank you for understanding. I someti...Farrah Lily, thank you for understanding. I sometimes feel extremely guilty having all of these beautiful dolls and not sharing but I am somewhat anal about not doing a picture perfect setup when I do a blog story on them. I don't have curio cases for them so that makes it harder to keep them nice...my moods poppys- I haven't yet dedressed them- and isn't the red head just the bomb? She is so lovely in her little black outfit with those adorable little shoes I just haven't had the heart to redress her just yet...until I find the perfect dress. <br /><br />Thank you so much for the compliments on my 'perspective'...I would say it comes with a lifetime of practice. <br /><br />The bedroom has come a long long way and I agree on sheer curtains bringing in natural light, which I am a huge fan of....plus we can see straight across the fields in the morning when dawn breaks...I want to really get the window treatments and the walls decorated before I'm 'brave' enough for pics! lol...I have not yet decided on the new bedspread and pillow cases yet.

If you feel inspired, I'd love to see a photo!. <br />It's also so great to have a space to seat people and entertain especially during all of these upcoming holidays. <br />Your doll rooms still look great to me as you have a great eye for perspective and making the dolls really look like they are in a miniature world. <br />I just LOVE your new redhead Poppy with the side bun! GORGEOUS. <br />Good luck with rest of your organizing and know you're not alone in that!Farrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131848005650508647noreply@blogger.com
